(Song Lyrics, Music and Arrangement by Dr. Donny "Rocker" Deever) [Intro] Left, right, left, right, step in time and hold it tight. One flag, one oath, one line drawn strong— This is the marching song! [Verse 1] A stranger standing by the road watched as the column passed. He saw the boots, he saw the packs, the rifles, wings, and brass. He asked, “I’ve heard the drums before, I’ve seen the colors fly, but tell me, troops, from heart to heart— what makes you serve, and why?” We smiled and kept our shoulders square, the cadence rolling on. For some answers can take a lifetime, and some are quick as dawn. Then one voice called, and all replied, with thunder in the air: “We do it for the land we love, and freedom everywhere.” [Pre-Chorus] For the newborns sleeping safely, for the towns we still call home, for the older ones before us, for the young'uns not full-grown. [Chorus] We march for the flag, we march for the fallen, we march when the call of duty is calling. For land, sea, air, for stars and shore, for the oath we took and the promise we swore. Step by step, we carry it on, from the break of day till the threat is gone. Ask us why, and we’ll answer strong: For God, for country, we march along. [Cadence Tag] Sound off! For the brave! Sound off! For the free! Sound off! For the land we love— from sea to shining sea! [Verse 2] The Army moves where the ground gets hard, through mountain, hill, and plain. The Navy rides the rolling deep where the horizon calls its name. The Air Force owns the open blue, with thunder in its wings. The Marines go first where danger waits so liberty can ring. The Coast Guard keeps the storm-lit watch where rescue lights are shown. The Space Force guards the highest ground where satellites are flown. The Guard and Reserve leave homes behind, when floods or fires rise— one nation’s many uniforms, one purpose in their eyes. [Pre-Chorus 2] For the mother at the window, for the student in the dorm, for the old man at the ballgame who once wore the uniform. [Chorus] We march for the flag, we march for the fallen, we march when the call of duty is calling. For land, sea, air, for stars and shore, for the oath we took and the promise we swore. Step by step, we carry it on, from the break of day till the threat is gone. Ask us why, and we’ll answer strong: For God, for country, we march along. [Verse 3] We do it for the folded flag, for the bugle playing taps, for every name on granite walls, for those who don't come back. We do it for the quiet prayers that rise when we deploy, for the letters saved in footlockers, for every girl and boy. We do it for the right to speak, to kneel, to pray, to stand, to build a life, to raise a voice, to choose to love this land. For wrongs made right, for lessons learned through sweat and sacrifice— A nation blessed by God above is worth a soldier’s price. [Bridge] The stranger listened by the road, his hat held in his hand. He heard the drums, he heard the truth, he seemed to understand. Then someone said, “We march away when duty calls us far, and we march back with grateful hearts beneath the stripes and stars.” For we are not just passing by, we are not just boots and song. We are the watch at midnight, we are the line held long. We are the hands that lift the weak, the shield when storms come through. We are the promise made in step: America, we’re here for you. [Breakdown] Who do we serve? The land we love! What do we guard? Rights from above! Why do we march? For liberty! Who stands together? Land, air, and sea! Army strong! Navy true! Air Force sky! Marine Corps blue! Coast Guard ready! Space Force high! Guard and Reserve— standing by! Left, right, left, right, boots on the road and hearts in the fight. One flag, one oath, one line drawn strong— This is the marching song! [Final Chorus] We march for the flag, we march for the fallen, we march when the call of duty is calling. For land, sea, air, for stars and shore, for the oath we took and the promise we swore. Step by step, we carry it on, from the break of day till the threat is gone. Ask us why, and we’ll answer strong: For God, for country, we march along. [Final Lift] For every branch, for every name, for every shape that courage came, for every heart that beats in time, for every hill we still must climb. Raise the colors, roll the drum, let every faithful footstep come. Ask us why, and we’ll answer strong: For God, for country, we sing this song. [Outro] Left, right, left, right, step in time and hold it tight. When we go out, when we come back, we march together on the track. One flag, one oath, one line drawn strong— This is the marching song!
